Handle a distributor pricing dispute without caving

Resolve a distributor pricing dispute on the contract and the facts, without giving away margin.

About this prompt

This prompt helps Partner and Channel Managers resolve a pricing or terms dispute with an important distributor without caving on margin or damaging the relationship. It separates facts from claims, applies the contract, reads the distributor's real interest, and structures give-get resolution options. Use it when a distributor is disputing price, rebate, or terms and you need to hold the line.Distributor pricing disputes get resolved on the contract and the data, but an important distributor's clout makes it tempting to concede margin to keep the peace. This prompt separates what's verifiable from what the distributor asserts, then applies your actual terms and names which side they favor even when that's the harder answer. You provide the distributor and their volume in WHO, HOW MUCH VOLUME THEY DRIVE, the dispute in PRICE, REBATE, TERMS, PROTECTION CLAIM, their stance in WHAT THEY WANT, WHAT BARGAINING POWER THEY HAVE, your terms in THE RELEVANT TERMS, the facts in WHAT'S ACTUALLY TRUE, and your room in WHAT I CAN AND CAN'T CONCEDE. It returns a read on what's really driving the dispute (a genuine error, margin pressure, a negotiation tactic, or a precedent play), resolution options with a give-get so you never hand over margin for nothing (trade it for volume, cleaner forecasting, faster payment), a precedent check since channel concessions travel to every other distributor, the firm-but-respectful communication, and flags for what needs deal desk or finance sign-off. Use this for distributor disputes specifically, distinct from the partner-versus-partner channel-conflict prompt. The tip: be honest in the facts field, because if you're actually in the wrong, the path is to fix it cleanly and rebuild trust, not to dig in.
